Trotz: Weber ‘a little bit frustrated’

LOS ANGELES With 0 points in six games, and his team having lost three straight, it’s hard to imagine that defenseman Shea Weber is feeling good vibes. According to Nashville coach Barry Trotz, the two-time Norris Trophy finalist is somewhat bothered by his recent lack of point production.

“I think Webs is a little bit frustrated,” Trotz said. “He wants to do so well. It’s not that he’s doing a lot of bad things, but I think there’s a little bit of a level of frustration in his game right now that holds him back a little bit.”

Weber is in the process of trying to learn to play with a new defense partner in Roman Josi.

Weber’s longtime blueline pair, Ryan Suter, hasn’t quite found his range either this year. Suter, who signed a large contract with the Minnesota Wild in the offseason, comes into the Wild’s Tuesday night’s contest against Columbus with three points in five games and a minus-5 rating.
